From Frazzled to Fun

It is vitally important, especially in the times in which we live, for our children (and us!) to see models of faith-filled men and women through the ages who "inquired of the Lord" and did hard and counterintuitive things.

When a pacifist is called to a political act that could change the course of history, how will a man of honor respond?

Now in theatres is a chance for all of us to be inspired by the courageous actions of a God-loving man.

This is the true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who preached love while plotting the assassination of an evil tyrant.

With world-shattering stakes, Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. begs the question, how far will you go to stand up for what’s right?

We have our tickets to see it tonight!

I hope you and your family will also be able to go.

May we all understand we are here for such a time as this, and God will use us to bring his Kingdom to Earth as we pray, listen and respond!

P.S. Have you signed up...

Our prayers for our country are being answered, hallelujah!  (Urgent prayer request for TOMORROW at the end of this post, by the way!)

Did you see patriots break out in "How Great Thou Art" after our President-Elect delivered his speech the night of the election? What a huge breakthrough for our country, and in turn for our families! Our prayers have turned the tide.

However, many young adults I have talked to in the last 4 years have been so disillusioned by the state of our country that they have said they are considering not having children.

We need to share hope with these young people -- great days are ahead for our country, and others!

God has blessed us with a leader who has vision to repair our country and the ability to execute a plan to get there.

Have you heard what's coming? Here are just a few sneak peeks...

Have you voted yet?

I've been disheartened this critical election season to hear many Christians say they plan to sit this one out. 

“Get everyone you know, and everyone you don't know, drag them to register to vote,” Elon Musk said at an October 2024 Butler, PA Rally. “If they don’t, this will be the last election. That’s my prediction.” 

If you can't vote for someone, at least vote against another. 

A choice not to vote is a vote for the opposing side.

Can you imagine sitting this out and seeing your children grow up in a nation that continues to kill millions of more babies each year, allows men to compete against your daughters in women's sports, and whose churches have to go underground to gather for worship services?

What if you then had to admit to them that you didn't vote against it in the historical 2024 election, the election where everything hung in the balance?

No doubt,...

It's time to wake up and get into action! Those of us who love God must all work together for the sake of our children and our children's children.

And we can even do it through creative ways like hosting a party, mentioned later in this post.

We are in a battle to save the lives of babies, the reproductive future of our children, God's plan for marriage and the family, and America's freedoms.

Why would you not get involved right now in choosing government leaders?

• You are frustrated with the system?
• You are too overwhelmed with your own personal life and family?
• You are confused by all the mixed messages?
• You have a dislike for politics?
• You feel an aversion to a personality?
• You don't feel it will make a difference?
• You don't feel you have the time?

I encourage you to remember this: When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan. Prov. 29:2

We must push past obstacles that would keep us from engaging in Jesus' Name for...

I dare you...take the DDD.

It's the Discerning Date night Dare.

1. Set a date with your husband

2. Put the kids to bed

3. Pop some popcorn and get comfy

4. Watch The Greatest Show on Earth (2023) (for free! 1 hr. 20 mins.)

5. Have a discussion about your thoughts (my prediction is that you will have a lot to discuss)

Why is it the DDD? (Discerning Date night Dare?)

Well, have you ever asked

What in the world is going on in our world these days?

This film might help you discern answers to that question.

Also, It's DDD because I challenge you to do your own research on the topics discussed in the film and discern what you believe to be reality.

We are living in historic times, and under the circumstances, you might have to do a little digging rather than be spoon-fed by the mainstream media.

Nick Alvear, in his film The Greatest Show on Earth, did a lot of digging himself and packaged it in such a...
